Larry Klayman, legal counsel for Cliven Bundy, issued a statement on behalf of Bundy vowing to fight the DOJ's attempt to retry his client for his role in the 2014 standoff. Klayman is the founder of Judicial Watch and is a former prosecutor.

"My client and friend Cliven Bundy is confident that the Ninth Circuit will affirm Judge Navarro's dismissal," Larry Klayman, legal counsel for Bundy, said in a press statement Thursday. The government's case was "based on prosecutorial misconduct," he noted.

"That the prosecutors who committed and furthered this gross prosecutorial misconduct would now seek to file a notice of appeal underscores that my once proud alma mater, the U.S. Department of Justice, has become the Department of Injustice," he added.
